That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
Ignore for awhile. I'm looking at what the CMS data base says about the question below.
What percent of the health care industry is just the insurance industry and excess personnel doing just the billing and related things. Could the economy or job…
We always do potatoes in containers and using layering (instead of hilling, just start low and add dirt as they come up; you always want to have layers in your portfolio for bigger gains):
Anna here. The only posts I don't enjoy are the posts about what other people should be allowed to post. This is, by in large, a superior intelligence crowd. Children still, perhaps, but capable of self wiping. Sharing your opinion and not your stin…
A 100 year bond gives holding to maturity a new flavor not to mention long term bond fund and effective maturity and duration.
On the "that ship has sailed" side, Imagine if the rates in the late 70s and 80s could be locked in forever.
Funny thing about trickles. Take Western Washington, it seems like it rains almost all the time but there is never enough cheap water for the bottom feeders. Just constant cold trickle on the head and there it stops, not even good for a whistle wett…
Mark, How do you VAT it (if you have one), I wonder? Anyway, I'm sure it is not a worry since Mexico is footing the bill and doing the construction. We are only supervising.
In a basically macho country, it's the words strong and weak that drive the support for one over the other. If high and low were used, people might see some merit in both high and low arguments about the dollar. Meanwhile strong is healthy and weak …
Children please, most of us are of an age that we lived through this stuff and know the truth even if our memories aren't quite exactly right. In other words - we all are who we are. The Exxon guy is what it is.
Lewis, I agree with you ideologically. But I look at the world full of poor. I look at what few instances of revolution I learned in school. Can you deny that it is usually the elite that lead peasant revolts? The 4th commandment and 2nd amendment o…
When I read discussions of inequality it is usually at websites like this - places where the upper middle class/professional working class/etc. are found. Since most of these groups are stock and fund holders I wonder why CEO and executive rewards a…
i too loved Cohen for years, but is this the most appropriate discussion board for music criticism?
Can't we stick to mutual funds?
If it bothers you, you can put this link in your favorites (or hit the topic "Mutual funds" on the left menu):

The best answer any can give me is: "Hillary's a crook."
Disclaimer: Most of the above is sarcasism.
The people I grew up with also site the 4th commandment and 2nd amendment (yes, in the same sentence).
It seemed as though some of the people voted for Trump because they thought they should be get more, not less, subsidy. Why do reporters skip the question of who will pay if they don't? Since they don't like government programs, do they want their o…
I actually laughed out loud, as the abbreviation goes, at this:
My favorite line: "Second, Congress should ensure people who act responsibly are protected from developing an expensive medical condition."
@Anna: cider donuts in New Hampshire. They will make you want to live a long time so you can come back, year after year, for 2.
Were the childhood ones home-made?
No, they were Greenville MS's idea of a donut. You could even watch them fry in a tub …
Haven't had a good donut since I was a kid. I just realized I don't eat them anymore and haven't had one in years. If I had one of the good ones from my childhood, it would probably kill me. That's what made them so good.
We should all have the same level of health care as the members of Congress. That is one of the best plans available and they enjoy the benefits of it paid for with our tax money. If its good enough for them, its good enough for me. These are the s…
